Get_dashboard error

Third party integrations HADashboard
1

Im getting an error about get_dashboard and I cant seem to figure it out. I can load the dashboards with no skin but as soon as I try a skin I get the server error 500. and in the log I see the below. I seen a mention of container style not found in varaiables, so I added that and that error went away but Im getting this. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

make sure all the variables in the variables.yaml are given correctly.
here you can find all the variables that are needed and how they should look:

it could be that you forgot some quotes

Ahh thank you sir that shed some light. Sorry 2 I caught on easy, i think im just missing some of the broken changes. It looks like some of the sweet custom widgets you put together got renamed and causing issues now. After adjusting that variables file I see some widgets that look like “base” was removed and some other minor changes Ill have to clean up. thanks again bud

Appdaemon version 3 has some of my custom widgets included. (radial, temperature, vertical_slider (called input_slider) and input_select)
so those can be deleted from the custom widgets.

but you have to rename the slider widget type in your dashboards

alright cool. it looks like its complaining about a coulple variables not being defined when infact they are. I basically copies the variables from my version 2 variables.

I will change out those widgets first, thank you for pointing that out

# Core styles. Reference these wherever possible rather than making custom

does this look correct? my remaining custom widgets.

da@appd:/home/homeassistant/conf/custom_widgets$ ls
baseclimateselect       baseclimateselect.js  base_media_with_volume  media_with_volume.yaml
baseclimateselect.css   basemediaselect       basewunderground        wunderground.yaml
baseclimateselect.html  basemediaselect.yaml  climate_select.yaml

So I cleaned up the widgets and the variable error went away. I also restarted appdaemon though Im getting the get_dashboard error. but I dont see anything stick out now like couldnt create file or anythint

mostly if it says the var isnt there, it means that the css is wrong or the var is used to early or on the wrong place, or you try to use a different skin (think about capital use)

if i look at your custom_widgets dir, then i hope that the js,html and css are in the subdirs?
i cant see that from the list :wink:

i dont see any widgets from me anymore so then you use the included ones.

seems like you still have an error in your skin or in your dashboardfile.
to make sure that you have AD working allright, just try this:

  1. create or use a simple dashboard like the hello.dash
  2. load that dashboard in your browser
  3. check for errors, if no errors then your setup is correct
  4. load the simple dashboard with your skin
  5. check for errors, if you have errors its a problem in your skin
  6. load your own dashboard without the skin
  7. if you have errors its your dashboardfile
10

Of coarse:slight_smile:

Its defintly the skin. I can load the dash fine with no skin. I just tried copying everything from

widget default definitions

and above and it is still complaining. Do you know if there were any breaking changes in the variables? Because I copied that directly from the variable file that is in use now. Working on version2. Ive pasted my whole gigaantic file if you can spot something at a glance. Or I cant see where are you spot the var info in that log to determine the error. I found a few others pretty easy. if theres a line or something i need to look out for it would help me troubleshoot some more:)

there is a lot of new stuff in the new variables.yaml.
the best way to go on is this:

  1. copy the variables.yaml from the default (you can find it in your own setup or here: https://github.com/home-assistant/appdaemon/blob/master/appdaemon/assets/css/default/variables.yaml
  2. add all changes you have made in the past and mark them clearly as things that YOU have added or changed.

for now with the many changes you made without marking it, probably the easiest way is to print your own file and check line by line if its there and or different in the new variables.yaml

ahhhhhh :slightly_frowning_face:

lol, just playin. I can do that, sounds like a plan. thank you!

Hi Rene, I am running AD3.0.1(community addon) on Hassio and have read my way through getting the sytem to accept custom widgets - I love your colorpicker and brightness slider widgets - but I seem to be getting an error somewhere and I cannot figure out how to find out what the error is. Something is happening with the colorpicker widget so that it is preventing all widgets after it from rendering. Also, the widget will let me pick a color but it is not controlling the assigned entity at all.

test.yaml:

your_light2:
   widget_type: base_light_with_colorpicker
   entity: light.theatre
   title: Just a
   title2: Light
    
scenes:
    widget_type: navigate

Have you got any idea what I may have gotten wrong?
edit: ignore the scenes navigate widget - it doesn’t get rendered when added to the yaml but it was just in there for testing.

Here it is in another dash - it blocks everything after it:

and here it that dash without the colorpicker widget:
edit: I did have a regular light widget in here that referenced the same entity - I thought this was the cause of the error initially, but in my colorpicker screenshot, that entity has been removed (lamp & sconces).

I might be on to something, I noticed that I was naming the widgets with “base_” in front of the name (base_light_with_colorpicker) - otherwise the widget gives an unknown widget error - but in the examples on github, all the custom widgets are referenced without the “base_” appended to them (ie. light_with_colorpicker). When I remove the “base_” from the name, I get an error in my log:

2018-04-30 22:18:01.698400 WARNING Unable to find widget type 'light_with_colorpicker'
2018-04-30 22:18:01.698595 WARNING Traceback (most recent call last):

but with the “base_” attached to the name, it shows up in my dashboard like above pictures, only they do no not control any actual entities and they are missing design elements.

did you also copy the light_with_colorpicker.yaml file to your custom widgets dir?
